Subject: [PATCH v13 0/6] KVM: s390: pv: implement lazy destroy for reboot

Previously, when a protected VM was rebooted or when it was shut down,
its memory was made unprotected, and then the protected VM itself was
destroyed. Looping over the whole address space can take some time,
considering the overhead of the various Ultravisor Calls (UVCs). This
means that a reboot or a shutdown would take a potentially long amount
of time, depending on the amount of used memory.

This patchseries implements a deferred destroy mechanism for protected
guests. When a protected guest is destroyed, its memory can be cleared
in background, allowing the guest to restart or terminate significantly
faster than before.

There are 2 possibilities when a protected VM is torn down:
* it still has an address space associated (reboot case)
* it does not have an address space anymore (shutdown case)

For the reboot case, two new commands are available for the
KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND:

KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE: prepares the current protected VM for
asynchronous teardown. The current VM will then continue immediately
as non-protected. If a protected VM had already been set aside without
starting the teardown process, this call will fail. In this case the
userspace process should issue a normal KVM_PV_DISABLE

KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM: tears down the protected VM previously
set aside for asychronous teardown. This PV command should ideally be
issued by userspace from a separate thread. If a fatal signal is
received (or the process terminates naturally), the command will
terminate immediately without completing. The rest of the normal KVM
teardown process will take care of properly cleaning up all leftovers.

The idea is that userspace should first issue the
KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PREPARE command, and in case of success, create a
new thread and issue KVM_PV_ASYNC_CLEANUP_PERFORM from there. This also
allows for proper accounting of the CPU time needed for the
asynchronous teardown.

This means that the same address space can have memory belonging to
more than one protected guest, although only one will be running, the
others will in fact not even have any CPUs.

The shutdown case should be dealt with in userspace (e.g. using
clone(CLONE_VM)).

A module parameter is also provided to disable the new functionality,
which is otherwise enabled by default. This should not be an issue
since the new functionality is opt-in anyway. This is mainly thought to
aid debugging.

Subject: [PATCH v13 5/6] KVM: s390: pv: support for Destroy fast UVC

Add support for the Destroy Secure Configuration Fast Ultravisor call,
and take advantage of it for asynchronous destroy.

When supported, the protected guest is destroyed immediately using the
new UVC, leaving only the memory to be cleaned up asynchronously.

Subject: [PATCH v13 6/6] KVM: s390: pv: module parameter to fence asynchronous destroy

Add the module parameter "async_destroy", to allow the asynchronous
destroy mechanism to be switched off. This might be useful for
debugging purposes.

The parameter is enabled by default since the feature is opt-in anyway.
